Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What does your desktop look like? (share.jackgreenearth.org)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Here's mine. No inspiration at all taken from a certain California based company's OS ;p

I use:

  • Manjaro OS
  • GNOME desktop
  • WhiteSur icon theme (with a few icons changed in the desktop file)
  • WhiteSur GTK and shell theme
  • Bing wallpaper
  • net speed simplified
  • Logo Menu
  • Show Desktop
  • Top Bar Organiser (to move the time to the right)
  • Overview background

I apologise if I missed anything.

Looks like this, 3 monitor setup

Image of a 3 monitor setup with Streets of Rage wallpaper across all 3 monitors.

GNOME 45.5 with only a few extensions. Most of the good ones break every time there's a new GNOME release anyway. I especially miss having the top bar on all monitors. Dash to Dock on the center monitor.

You use GNOME Web? How do you like it compared to other browsers like Firefox?

What music player is that?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lollypop. I also have GNOME music, but after trying a bunch of different music players, I like this the best.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Excellent. Mature, functional, clean.

Seeing lots of discord on these. Anyone else like me and have to install updates to it a couple times a week from the package manager before it will open? I also notice it seems to close itself after a while, I think if the computer sleeps then wakes.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

yeah discord is kinda fucking annoying on linux for that reason. i'd recommend something like vencord (vesktop) over discord's client

You don't have a dock or top bar? Is everything keyboard shortcuts?

Here's my weeb'd out set-up. KDE Plasma 6 with the Breeze Dark theme and a slideshow of animu wallpapers.

Edit: gah I forgot to mention my OS. At the risk of sounding like a meme... It's Arch.

Terraria? Nice! And is that two monitors or an ultrawide?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I love Terraria. And I have two 1440p monitors.

KDE on Wayland

KDE Plasma 5 on Wayland, Opensuse Slowroll. Big Sur theme with latte dock. 4 virtual desktops in a 2x2 grid (not visible in screenshot)

Different docks for different kinds of apps.. Slightly ugly, but very convenient.

I see you also like to pretend your device is an Apple 😂

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

honest question. Why would you pretend?

Is that two monitors next to each other or an ultrawide display?

Mine, Fedora Atomic Budgie. Materia GTK Theme. Intended to keep the focus on my windows rather than my desktop or theme.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That looks nice - clean and simple.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's the idea! :D Clean, boring, professional without sacrificing information.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I've been running stock Pop!_OS for quite a while now. The only thing I've done is pin the dock to the left side of the screen.

By the way, I see Toto coming up on your playlist!
